Hour Two:
Science Books

Maybe you're counting down the days till the end of Hanukkah, or scrambling to get ready for Christmas or Kwanzaa at the end of next week, and are still looking for gift ideas. Or maybe you're sick and tired of the whole holiday season and just want to curl up in bed with a good book or two. Well, regardless of which camp you fall into, we're here to help. On this hour of Science Friday, we'll be running down our annual holiday book list - suggestions for titles that we think stand out from the miles of books in your local book megamart.

Books on science, the environment, good picks for the kids. We'll have it all.

Get the entire list of books we discussed - and some we didn't - right here.
